For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Checking whether process is running or not

Posted by ArchanGhosh (ArchanGhosh), 20 February 2003
Hi,

I would like to know if there is any command/function i that can help ascertain whether a particular process is currently running on the system or not .

Thanks and Regards,
Archan

That's something that's always very awkward in any language - if you have a look at opertaing systems, you'll often find that they write "pid files" to the disc to tell other processes where they are, for example.   How do you know which particular process it is that you want to check for - by its process id?   By its name?  By whether there's something providing a service on a port? .... I'm afraid there isn't a general answer to the question - please post further telling us how you can identify the process you want to find out about, and I'll let you know if there's an easy way / how I would look at doing it
